The star-studded Nitto ATP Finals is led by world no.1 and world no.2, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
In his 12th appearance at the prestigious event, Novak will attempt to win a record-tying sixth title. He lifted the ATP Finals trophy in 2008, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015.
The world’s biggest indoor tournament begins on Sunday, November 10, at the O2 Arena in London, and will be played until November 17.
The best eight singles players and the best eight teams of the season will compete for the trophy. It is a round robin format with eight singles players divided in two groups of four.
This year the singles groups have been named after Andre Agassi and Bjorn Borg.
The draw ceremony has been made on Tuesday afternoon. Novak is placed in Group Bjorn Borg with Federer, Thiem and Berrettini.
Djokovic will play his first match in London against Matteo Berrettini on Sunday, November 10, at 14:00 local time (15:00 CET).
